Exploring key questions such as how modern writers write colour, and to what extent critical thought on colour in visual media can illuminate the textual life of colour, Susan Harrow argues that colour is integral to the exploration of ethics, ekphrasis, objects, bodies, landscape and interiority in painting and poetry. The question of colour, in a variety of disciplines and media, has provoked debate from Aristotle to Goethe, and from Baudelaire to Derek Jarman. If the past twenty years have witnessed a ‘colour turn’ in contemporary cultural studies and screen research, colour values in literary and textual media are often elided or, simply, overlooked. \u003ci\u003eColourworks\u003c\/i\u003e tackles this lacuna in the study of modern poetry and art writing in French, revealing the integral role of colour in the work of three iconic French writers in the modern tradition: Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Valéry and Yves Bonnefoy. This book spans the broad modern period from the 1860s to the early twenty-first century in taking an exploratory approach to the visuality of the verbal medium through an adventurous reading of text and image. Harrow uncovers how colour moves and morphs in texts as it challenges the traditionalist containments of chromatic symbolism. Beyond its primary area of investigation in modern poetry and art writing in French, this richly colour-illustrated study has significant interdisciplinary implications—conceptual, methodological, and practical—for the study of visuality in humanities research, from literature studies to material and visual culture studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarrow brings her field up to date with a colour turn already well underway in anthropology and film and cultural studies, thus carving a new space for literary studies within the interdisciplinary humanities. * French Studies *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a bold and intellectually ambitious project both in its scale but also in its agenda of bringing colour studies to the fore.

The writing is dense at times but always maintains its own poetic air. * STC Technical Communication *\u003cbr\u003eStarting with Mallarmé’s ‘monochromes’, Susan Harrow takes us on an extended exploration of the colour worlds of modern French poetry, via Valéry’s greys down to the complex chromatics of Bonnefoy. Her study is a tour de force. * Christopher Prendergast FBA, Professor Emeritus of Modern French Literature and Fellow of King’s College, University of Cambridge, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThrough a series of penetrating readings, Susan Harrow sheds fascinating light on the workings of colour when it is mediated through the poet’s words. The subtlety of this alchemical process finds eloquent expression in lucid analyses of Mallarmé, Valéry and Bonnefoy. Harrow’s interdisciplinary study offers a wealth of insights that prompt us to think anew about the affective, cultural, sensory and theoretical ramifications of colour and the myriad ways in which its textual articulation shapes our world. * Eric Robertson, Professor of Modern French Literary and Visual Culture, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of plates Introduction \u003cb\u003eThinking Colour-Writing\u003c\/b\u003e Part One \u003cb\u003eObjects and Affects: Mallarmé’s Monochromes\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eColour Culture\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eRed Bricks and Yellow Thoughts\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaking Modern, Moving Colour\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDisplacements of Black\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMigrations of Blue\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhite (Im)material\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eConclusion\u003c\/i\u003e Part Two \u003cb\u003eMatter, Metaphor, Metamorphosis: Valéry’s Intermittent Colour\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eValéry, Vanguard and Rear-guard\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e‘Carroty-Red Bits of Fibre’ and a Pink-Bristled Toothbrush\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThinking Art and Writing Colour\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eResisting and Revealing Colour\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSense and Sensuousness: Seascape and Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eEkphrasis: Figure and Fruit\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eChiaroscuro Modulations \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eConclusion\u003c\/i\u003e Part Three \u003cb\u003eEmblematic Chromatics and the Colour of Ethics: Yves Bonnefoy’s Lessons in Things \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Dereliction of Colour\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Equipoise of Grey\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eColour Incarnate\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eUnbiddable Colour: The Ethical Turn\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eActs of Attention\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eEthics and Ekphrastics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eInterrupted White\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Curve of Colour\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eConclusion\u003c\/i\u003e Conclusion: \u003cb\u003eColour Moving Forward \u003c\/b\u003e Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739957178711,"sku":"9781526637758","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526637758.jpg?v=1720053512"},{"product_id":"colours-a-drawing-book-inspired-by-art-9781800690042","title":"Colours: A Drawing Book Inspired by Art","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany people crave a creative outlet, but more often than not, don't know where to start.

Rebelling against the bleakness of the industrial present, these figures learned from the sacred colours of the past, the sumptuous colours of the Middle East and Japan and looked forward towards the decadent colours that defined the end of the century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSection 1: Glowing Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Introduction; Ruskin and Colour Pedagogy; Turner, Ruskin and the Lure of Venetian Colour; The Colour of the Middle Ages; Unweaving the Rainbow: Nature’s Colours in Art and Fashion; Pretty Plant Photographers or Pioneering Women?; Object in Focus: Hummingbird Necklace by Harry Emanuel; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSection 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colour for All: The Aniline Revolution; The International Exhibition of 1862; Object in Focus: Technical Analysis of the Great Bookcase; Sculpture and Race; The Colours of the Ancient Past; Orientalism; Object in Focus: Joseph and his Brethren by Owen Jones; India and Colour; \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSection 3:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colour for Colour’s Sake: The Colours of Decadence: Yellow, Green and Blue; Object in Focus: St. Mark’s Venice by James McNeill Whistler; Queering Colour; Object in Focus: Tanagra; Object in Focus: Japanese Boardgame; Loie Fuller \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashmolean Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742581371223,"sku":"9781910807576","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781910807576.jpg?v=1723812559"},{"product_id":"watercolour-textures-9780007213856","title":"Watercolour Textures","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"MARGIN:\"\u003eAnn Blockley is a successful artist, known for the innovative way in which she uses texture as a key element in her work, and this guide for intermediate painters looks specifically at how she achieves her stunning effects. Creating texture in watercolor can be quite a challenge, but this book brings a fresh approach to the subject. Ann explains how to manipulate the paint by lifting out color, scraping and scratching the paint, and using additional materials such as wax, salt, and metallic pigments. She also explains how the surface itself can play an important role in the effects that can be achieved, and experiments with acrylics, inks, gouache, and collage, as well as with watercolor. Ann also looks at the creative process and provides insights into how to develop ideas and portray texture in specific subjects, such as flowers and foliage, animals, still life, buildings, and landscapes.

The complex phenomenon of colour has received detailed attention from the perspectives of physics, chemistry, physiology, psychology, linguistics and philosophy. However, the people who work most closely with colour â artists â have rarely been canvassed for their opinions on this mysterious subject. John Gage sets out to address this omission by focusing on the thoughts and practices of artists. Colour in Art is concerned with the history of colour, but is not itself a history; instead each chapter develops a theme from a different scientific discipline, as seen from the viewpoint of such diverse artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Vincent van Gogh, Sonia Delaunay, Bridget Riley and Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri.

What colour is summer? Is it a cool and translucent swimming pool aquamarine, brilliant watermelon red, or the pale pink interior of a seashell? If these colours define summer, what colour is autumn? How about winter? And spring? In Palette Perfect, Volume 2, designer and best-selling author Lauren Wager explores the multiple possibilities of seasonal color applications, leading the reader through an inspirational presentation of image pairings and colour combinations. The colour palettes are portrayed in a fresh and dynamic way that allows the reader to see how certain colours play off each other in foreground and background, close together and further apart. This format is a different take on colour palettes than Volume 1, and still provides the RGB and CMYK values for artists that would like to translate the colours for web and print. This volume - both a practical guide and inspirational book for designers, illustrators, architects, and crafters, as well home decoration and fashion lovers, professional or otherwise - provides examples of colour application within the worlds of contemporary art, fashion, interiors, photography and graphic design. It is a carefully gathered collection of colour palettes and stunning images with a touch of the unexpected, utterly successful in its aim. AUTHOR: Lauren Wager is a designer, colour consultant, and curator who is inspired by simple beauty and driven by a great sensitivity for colour. Wager has done social media collaborations with Pantone, Marine Layer, Everlane, Le Bon Shoppe, Richer Poorer and Crow Works. She was featured in UPPERCASE Magazine and she recently worked with Field Tiles to come up with over 100 colours for their upcoming cement tile collection. She is co-owner of Georgie Home, a company that designs and produces textile products for the home, which are sold in West Elm, among other stores. She is also the creator of Color Collective, an online blog which serves as a colour resource aimed at artists and designers. Her first book, Palette Perfect, evolved from her blog, pairing colour palettes with the work of various designers, artists and photographers. She lives in Columbus, Ohio where she enjoys spending time with her family, collecting rocks, drinking coffee, and finding colour groupings in unexpected places. SELLING POINTS: . Lauren Wager's second book is expected to garner as much interest (or more) as its predecessor, the best-selling Palette Perfect. Color Combinations Inspired by Fashion, Art and Style. . Since its publication, the first volume has proven to be a valuable resource for designers (graphic, interior, product), architects, crafters, illustrators, and professionals working in the marketing, communication and branding industries. .
